Product Description

Potassium Sorbate

 

Potassium sorbate is a kind of food preservative with broad-spectrum bactericidal properties. Because it is easy to obtain and the price is relatively low, it has become the preferred food preservative for many food enterprises. Sorbic acid and potassium sorbate are safe and efficient food preservatives recognized by FAO and who. Sorbic acid and its salts are widely recognized because of their low toxicity and low price. Sorbic acid is a common fatty acid, which participates in the metabolism of human body, only produces non-toxic and harmless carbon dioxide and water, which is regarded as one of the safety ingredients of food. It can inhibit the growth of food borne microorganisms and prevent food spoilage. It has no obvious effect on the flavor state of food, does not change the characteristics of food, and retains the original color and flavor of food. The most important point is that the toxicity of sorbic acid is only 1 / 4 of benzoic acid. Sorbic acid, as a globally recognized safe and non-toxic preservative, is allowed to be used in all countries. Because of the low solubility of sorbic acid, the food industry often uses sorbate with higher solubility to replace sorbic acid. Potassium sorbate is a kind of unsaturated fatty acid salt, which can participate in normal metabolism in human body and produce carbon dioxide and water. In addition, the use of potassium sorbate is flexible and can be directly added to food or sprayed with soaking.
